Passionless
Eyes Within A Storm


alone among a million faces
staring beyond far off places
dreams that only my heart chases
no one finds me there
lost beneath the hair

shattered glass and bleeding eyes
stare out from a thin disguise
truth within the swirling lies
calm within the storm
inside safe and warm

have I gone so passionless
that I can attract no one
who has the kind of passion
I can feel inside

have I hidden myself so well
that nobody sees me here
behind messy slouching hair
where I am denied

it's not so much I hide
I've just gotten lazy
tired of playing the game
in a world gone crazy
see my priorities
are far from the norm
and maybe that's why I'm alone
at the eye of the storm
an eye within the storms

but just because I can maintain
my balance within the eye
doesn't mean I'm not a storm
with clouds that reach beyong the sky
maybe a storm can be so vast
no one can see beyond the eye
and I don't want to sell it
so I don't even try
maybe that is why

I am alone among a million faces
staring beyond far off places
dreams that only my heart chases
no one finds me there
lost behind the stare

shattered glass and bleeding eyes
stare out from a thin disguise
truth within the swirling lies
calm within the storm
inside safe and warm
protected from harm
no one sees the charm
inside safe and warm
eyes within a storm

do I seem so passionless
that I can attract only
the passionless and lonely
and those who have lied

have I hidden myself so well
that nobody sees me here
perfecting an empty stare
do you think I've died
just because I haven't tried
to pull you inside
maybe that is why

I am alone among a million faces
staring beyond far off places
dreams that only my heart chases
no one finds me there
lost behind the stare

years of being told to hide it
repressing my happiness
beaten and caged for my feelings
I've learned to be passionless

shattered glass and bleeding eyes
stare out from a thin disguise
truth within the swirling lies
calm within the storm
inside safe and warm
protected from harm
no one sees the charm
inside safe and warm
eyes within a storm
eyes within a storm
eyes within a storm
